Announcements From Ning

Today we're pleased to release a set of improvements to the Activity Feed feature on Ning 3.0 networks.
The updated Activity Feed allows members to view older items in the feed, and to view new items that have appeared since they loaded the page.
We've expanded the capabilities of Social Feeds so that you can have items automatically added to the Activity Feed via RSS and Twitter.
We've added a status feature, so that your members can leave status updates in the feed, and we've added link…

Here is a little something I thought you may like. The idea was to gather all the tags on a page into a more visible area on a page, so what this code does is copy all the tags that have been added to posts in the main content area and displays…

Hello :) Just a quick question, so, on my profile questions, I have like 10 questions, but personally, I think as I'm adding more questions, its making it look messy, so is there a way to split them so, half of them are on the left side, and half on…

Here is my new classifieds page which is now open for viewing. I still have some work to do on it like adding more module categories but the main function of the pages are working so it's just a little tweaking here and there.
The Classifieds was…

These are not one of those tips that really stick out but they are a slight improvement that can make a difference to how some things look
First of are the modules headings, depending on your font choice these can seem a little squashed together…

Well if you have seen my two layouts for moving the more entries photo strip to the side instead of underneath and also the comments one for moving them up to the side of the main photo viewer I decided why not use them both at the same time.
1st…

Hello,
I also am trying to determine if NING can accept CAS authentication. My university will currently not allow me to use NING since you do not encrypt the username/password at login (it is passed in the clear) so if NING could accept CAS…

Somehow, our cover pictures are shown a bit vague and not very brightly.
Apparently, this is because the black gradient filter is automatically applied to all cover group photos,
is there a way we can improve this?

That's right NCs :-) As part of our upcoming Ning Apps service, if you plan to join our Early Access Program, you will be getting FREE Emoji feature on your Ning network!
Our Early Access program, Emoji Feature details and other perks will be posted…

This tip I added sometime ago but was lost when I removed one of my profiles so thought it would be good to add it again as it works a treat.
Basically the code enables you to just click on the side of the photo in the direction you want to go…

So here we have two bits of code to check for urls which do not start with your own sites url name. So all your pages etc will open as normal in the same window / tab but any other url which points away from your site will open in a new window or…

If you want to give your members a tool to use for showing where their posts and content are geolocated, here is a tool for you. Use this static map generator tool to create an embed code for adding maps to your posts, pages and groups or virtually any post on Ning 3.0 networks using this tool. Code is below for adding your own to a site.

Last week, we hosted our first Migration Demo and Q&A Webinar. Thanks to Juliet for her awesome Demo and to everyone who attended. There were a few technical glitches, but we worked some of those out for the recording and we'll definitely be taking your feedback on things we can improve on for the next webinar. Read on for the video and additional resources.

Members need both the motivation to initiate and to overcome their fear of starting a discussion. Their motivation to initiate will be to either learn something (e.g. "Does anyone know how to....?"), to impress others (e.g. "does anyone else think business class travel isn't as great as it used to be?" or to bond with others (e.g. "I'm upset Kelly got fired from the Apprentice").

PROJECTS THAT THE NING 3.0 TEAM IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON:

Activity Feed Updates - options for more content in the activity feed.

"Thanks, SP. I went to the catamaran site he listed in the discussion I first got the old N2 mobile app on my phone. I had to pick full site button to get the responsive version. Is that normal?
Also were you able to do the one you did with your usua…"

"Thanks John... but I cannot even add a discussion here on the Creator's site. For some reason I am blocked from updating, editing or seeing the edit page. I am at a loss... I use FireFox. I checked my firewall settings... no luck."

"Hi Martin, the best place to add something like this is by creating a discussion on the creators forum rather than on your comment wall, just makes it easier for others to chip in. With regards to your problem the first thing to try is a hard refres…"

"I can use some help, I am unable to edit pages... when I click to edit, I see code on the page and then it goes blank even though it is in "visual" mode. No luck with HTML Mode... it is the same. Does anyone have a suggestion on what might be caus…"

"There's a way to make Ning 2 responsive? We're losing a ton of traffic because it isn't, and on April 21, Google will start punishing the rankings of sites that aren't mobile ready significantly. I looked through a couple of months of George's posti…"

"No worries Mandy, to give you an idea of how these can be used take a look at this video for my classifieds, when you get to the part where I am uploading a post you will see I have used the tags to add price, country etc and have made them bigger i…"

"Is this from your activity feed by any chance?
Those xn/detail links tend to get generated by the activity feed rather than standalone content instances. Have you tried a feed from your blog, for example?"
